Abstract: In this paper, we will study the connections between the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau threefolds and Deligne's conjecture on the special values of the $L$-functions of critical motives. Using the theory of mirror symmetry, we will develop a method to compute the Deligne's period for a Calabi-Yau threefold in the mirror family of a one-parameter mirror pair. We will give two examples to show how this method works, and we will express the Deligne's period in terms of the classical periods of the threeform. Using this method, we will compute the Deligne's period of a Calabi-Yau threefold studied in a recent paper by Candelas, de la Ossa, Elmi and van Straten. Based on their numerical results, we will explicitly show that this Calabi-Yau threefold satisfies Deligne's conjecture. A second purpose of this paper is to introduce the Deligne's conjecture to the physics community, and provide further evidence that there might exist interesting connections between physics and number theory.

Review text

The author studies the connections between the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau threefolds and Deligne's conjecture on the special values of the \(L\)-functions of critical motives. He develops a method to compute Deligne's periods of Calabi-Yau threefolds in a one parameter mirror family. Using this method, the author computes Deligne's period for two crucial examples. Finally, some open problems are discussed in this paper.
